ECHOES
© 2005 Cassandra Kubinski
VERSE Drizzle, drizzle falls the rain
Head down, I finally found the pain
That resonates from inside out tonight.
And on this Lower East Side street
My triumphs and my present meet
To question me, if where I am is right
PRE CHOR I can still hear Daddy saying, ?you should know I?m proud?
Then too many voices from before, they grow too loud
They?re just
CHORUS Echoes in my mind
Echoes of a time
The climb was not so steep
And I?m hopin? the echoes in my mind
Echoes in time
Echoes will let me sleep.
VERSE It?s not my fault, I got distracted
Love and monthly rent detract
From taking home the trophy every day.
The laughter of my old best friend
It fades, delays, but never ends
I wonder, was it me who pulled away?
I can?t take these
CHORUS
BRIGDE I hear the cheers of years I thought I had it all
But champions can?t rise, only fall
Now I?m here, and I fear that who I am can?t last,
I?m not my past, but it won?t stop calling
CHORUS
